If Downton Abbey had Cellphones

Revenge Part 3

David: It's...your father...Lord Grantham.
Darrel: What? Are you joking?
David: I'm afraid I'm not.
Darrel: No, there must've been a mistake. Run it again. Papa would never do that.
David: I can have them run the system through again, if it makes you feel better. But it's him. I've already done it 5 times.
Darrel: 😢 How can he do that to me?
David: I am so sorry Darrel, I truly am.
Darrel: And the other day, he acted like he cared about me! 😭 I can't believe this.
David: Do you want me to talk to Lord Grantham?
Darrel: No. I'll take care of it.
David: Tell me if there's anything I can do.
Darrel: Thanks David.
David has left the conversation
Later that day
Robert: My darling, how are things?
Darrel: David's had people track down the signal of who started these rumours.
Robert: And?
Darrel: And, I know who did it.
Robert: Darling, I am so sorry.
Darrel: How could you do this to me? 😥
Robert: I'm sorry.
Darrel: I don't want to hear your apologies, I want to hear why you did this!
Robert: Since you entered my life, fifteen years ago, you brought nothing good to my life. You caused me to possibly lose my wife. I thought I'd feel better by doing this.
Darrel: I brought nothing good to your life!? So in the entire first fourteen years of my life, when you raised me, I didn't make you happy?
Robert: Of course you did, I didn't mean it that way.
Darrel: And how is destroying my reputation making you feel better?
Robert: Obviously, I was wrong. I regret it.
Darrel: Your life is full of regrets these days.
Robert: You are not mistaken.
Darrel: Look, if me being in your life brings nothing good, I can leave it for good.
Robert: Darrel...
Darrel: I'm serious! My sisters hate me, Mama won't even look at me, and now you've done this! I'm staying in London, with my parents. And this time, I'm not coming back.
Robert: Please...I am so sorry. Forgive me, please. 😥
Darrel has changed her username to Elizabeth
Elizabeth: Thank you for all you have done for me, Lord Grantham. Good day m'lord.
Elizabeth has left the conversation
Robert: 😭😭😭
Cora: How could you do this to her Robert?
Robert: How are you on this chat?
Edith: It's the group chat, Papa. That was a cruel thing to do.
Mary: I wouldn't even do it to Edith, and she deserves it.
Edith: Thanks Mary. You're such a good sister.
Tom: And I'm afraid you've lost her forever. So I hope you're pleased with yourself.
